Harry Potter Reborn

Chapter 169 The Basilisk's Action Again!

On this bright afternoon, the students listened attentively to an ancient legend.

Professor Binns said in his usual slow style: "You all must know that Hogwarts School was founded more than a thousand years ago - the exact date is not certain - by the four greatest wizards of the time.

.Four houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Together they built the castle

, away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because at that time, Muggles were afraid of magic, and wizards were persecuted a lot."

"In the first few years, the founders worked together harmoniously, looking for young people who showed signs of magic, and brought them to the castle to train them. However, slowly there were differences between them. Slytherin and

The rift between the others is growing. Slytherin wants Hogwarts to be more selective when recruiting students. He believes that magical education should be limited to pure wizarding families. He is unwilling to accept children born to Muggles, thinking that they are

Unreliable. Some days later, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce quarrel over this issue, and then Slytherin left the school."

"These are reliable histories." Professor Binns seemed unwilling to say any more, but the performance of the students below forced him to continue.

He reluctantly said: "But in real history, there is a confusing legend."

"The story goes that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle that the other founders knew nothing about."

"According to this legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only that heir could open the Chamber and release the horrors within, allowing it to purify the school.

, get rid of all those who are not worthy of learning magic.”

After the story was told, the whole class fell silent.

Professor Binns finally said: "Of course, this thing is all nonsense. Only simple-minded people will believe this legend."

After that, the students kept wanting to know some other details from Professor Binns, such as what the scary thing was, could it be the super invincible scary monster Pikachu? The one with one million volts, and how to open the secret room.

It doesn't require the blood of the heir of Slytherin to wait for a bunch of problems.

Professor Binns glared: "As I said, it is something that does not exist and is just a rumor. Let's go back to the books."

Then, all the students thought at the same time: Such a beautiful afternoon is really suitable for sleeping...

When Dumbledore found out that Binns actually talked about the Chamber of Secrets in class, his nose was almost straightened (Dumbledore's nose was crooked in the original book), but he had been suppressing this matter.

The days passed slowly.

Because Harry was not that keen on exploring the Chamber of Secrets, nor did he reveal that he heard parskins. Hermione just wanted to find the Chamber of Secrets out of curiosity and research, and did not exaggerate about making polyjuice potion to ask Malfoy about the situation.

Today, Saturday, around eleven o'clock in the morning, all the teachers and students of the school rushed to the Quidditch stadium.

The air is humid today, the sky is dark, and there is thunder in the sky. Maybe today's game will be held in a heavy rain.

Harry was wearing his college uniform and sitting with other students on the stands more than ten meters high.

The Gryffindor and Slytherin teams walked onto the field.

They each received enthusiastic cheers from the students of their houses, and the students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were also cheering for Gryffindor, who did not want Slytherin to win.

Gryffindor captain Wood and others gathered around to cheer him up.

"Although they have the latest nimbus broom, so what, we haven't had a good rest since August."

"Their Seeker Malfoy won't be quick to take action."

"This time, we must let them know that money is not everything."

Astoria sat next to Harry and asked, "Brother, who will win?"

Harry shook his head: "I don't know. One is to have an advantage on the broom, and the other is to train harder."

Without Harry's participation, Dobby, the elf of the Malfoy family, did not do anything bad, and the Bludger kept bumping around in the sky.

Half an hour later, it started to rain.

In the viewing seats of the four colleges, magic was used to drive away the rain.

Players on the field roared past in the rain.

The score of the game was always close, and the Golden Snitch was nowhere to be seen. Both sides were a little anxious and their physical strength could not keep up.

The speed of flight in the sky also slowly slowed down.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Huo Qi discussed with the deans of each college and suspended the game. Players and spectators could go to have a meal or take a short break. At 2:30, the game continued.

Harry didn't think this kind of sport was much fun, but during the meal, most of the classmates were discussing who would win the game.

Harry hoped this boring game would end soon.

So under Harry's powerful "thought", just a few minutes into the afternoon game, Gryffindor overtook Slytherin, with a score of 640 to 620. But then, Malfoy was possessed by the God of Luck and caught the Golden Snitch.

,competition is over.

Malfoy held the small Golden Snitch in his hand, excited and proud. He looked towards the Gryffindor House seat with a look of shame on his face, and raised the golden ball in his hand.

Harry was shocked, maybe it was for me to see.

But the other students didn't know this, and they were furious, thinking that Malfoy was provoking him, and started scolding the Slytherins.

During dinner in the evening, Wood came to Harry. He complained a little about why Harry didn't join the Quidditch team, and seemed to want to put the blame for today's loss on Harry, an innocent passerby.

After Harry figured out what he meant, he didn't even bother to do anything superficial and just ignored him.

After he left angrily, Hermione said: "I didn't expect him to be this kind of person..."

Harry listened to Hermione defend him, and felt complicated because the basilisk came out again.

A boy got lost on the spiral staircase and ended up somewhere unknown.

He wears a camera around his neck.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of something rubbing above his head.

Could it be the monster that was rumored in the secret room recently? He grabbed the camera and followed it. If he could take a picture of it... he thought feverishly.

After he stopped hearing the sound, there was a thick pipe in front of him, and a shadow came out of the pipe.

He raised the camera, a little excited.

Then, he saw a huge head and a pair of earthy yellow pupils.

He was petrified.

The basilisk completed its mission and disappeared into the pipe.

It wasn't until the next day that anyone discovered Colin's body.

He quickly reported it to the dean, and the dean, Dumbledore and professors all came here.

Dumbledore looked at Colin who had become a statue and said to himself: "It seems that the Chamber of Secrets has really been opened."

"Professor Sprout, how long will it take for the mandrake to contain the petrification treatment potion to grow?"

"Three months." Professor Sprout said worriedly.

Professor Lockhart interjected: "I have a way to make the mandrake grow as quickly as possible. It only takes three days." He smiled confidently.

Professor Sprout said angrily: "I am the professor of botany, and I don't want to have to grow mandrake from seeds again."

Lockhart looked resentful, but he added: "If the mandrake matures, please let me prepare the potion to treat petrification. I guarantee it is correct. At the beginning..."

Snape said gloomily from behind: "Sorry, the Potions Professor in this school is not dead yet."

Lockhart shut up. He felt that all the professors were not friendly to him. He obviously just wanted to guide their work.

Dumbledore said seriously: "I hope nothing will happen again during this period, otherwise we may face the risk of closing the school."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many teachers changed slightly. They have all worked in the school for many years and have deep feelings for the school. If the school cannot even protect the safety of students, or even close the school, I am afraid that parents will

I will never trust this kind of school again.

But there are only two people who are not worried, one is Snape and the other is Lockhart.

Lockhart said nonchalantly: "Then if Mr. Dumbledore is suspended, a professor should be found to temporarily act as principal. I think with my ability to deal with things calmly and my strong strength, the council should consider it."

I."

Snape just wanted to stay away from this idiot. As soon as he entered Hogwarts, he wanted to reach the top. He had not yet accomplished this goal. He had waited in school for more than ten years and yet he had not been able to survive the old guy Dumbledore, and he still dared to be

Speaking in front of the current principal.

Dumbledore had never regretted his decision to hire him so much. He thought he was stupid, but it turned out that he had no brain at all.
